The White House is warning Democrats against what it calls “blatant criminality” as they prepare to investigate the administration of President Donald Trump. Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the oversight committee, responded by saying it appears Trump “has something to hide.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth survived an impeachment resolution. More than a dozen House and Senate races remain too early to call. And Sen. Bernie Sanders said he won't support Sen. Chuck Schumer as majority leader. He wants a new generation of leadership and a vigorous debate about the Democratic Party's party’s direction.
